The nominees for the 61st Emmy Awards were announced this morning! The awards ceremony, which will air on Sunday, September 20 at 8 p.m. EST on CBS, will be hosted by Neil Patrick Harris from How I Met Your Mother. Categories in the 83 nominations include Outstanding Comedy Series, Outstanding Drama Series, Oustanding Lead Actor/Actress in a Miniseries, Oustanding Relatity Competition Program, and more! The series with the most nominations were 30 Rock (up for 22 Emmys!) and Mad Men (which earned 16).

Some of the nominees for Outstanding Comedy Series include Family Guy (the first time it's been nominated for this category!), The Office, and 30 Rock. A few of our faves were also nominated for Outstanding Supporting Actress in a Comedy Series: Kristin Chenoweth for Pushing Daisies, Vanessa Williams for Ugly Betty, and Amy Poehler for Saturday Night Live. While House and Lost got nominated for Oustanding Drama Series, we were a little sad not to see True Blood on the list! (What can we say, we're totally obsessed with vampires!)

And we can't forget reality TV. The nominees for Outstanding Reality Competition Program include American Idol, Dancing with the Stars (click here to see winner Julianne Hough's interview with Seventeen.com!), Project Runway, and Top Chef. Saturday Night Live got a ton of love as well! Justin Timberlake and Andy Samberg got nominated for Best Song on SNL, and Tiny Fey got a Guest Actress nom for herSNL impersonation of Sarah Palin.

17 Tip: You don't need to be on the red carpet in Hollywood to enjoy the Emmys in style! Throwing an Emmys party with your friends is a great excuse for a little Sunday-night glitz and glamour. Dress up in "formal" attire — raid each other's closets, or hit up a vintage costume store! Then deck the walls with TV posters from glossy celeb mags like People, Us Weekly, and InStyle. Don't forget to print out a copy of this year's nominees and have everyone pick their winners. For a final touch, have a "party cam" ready to snap photos of your friends' grand entrances. Or even hand out disposable cameras — you'll capture tons of great memories!
